Dwayne
Vander Vliet of Luverne received the
Stauffer Seeds
Dealer of the Year sales achievement award at the company’s
recent annual meeting. He accepted the award on behalf of
the dealership owner, Loren Forrest. Vander Vliet does the
majority of sales and service work for the dealership known
as Forrest’s.
With a
five-year old dealership, Vander Vliet has developed respect
for the Stauffer Seeds’ philosophy. “They believe in service
and loyalty to their customers,” he observed. “They want to
do what’s right and it’s just a great company.”
Product
performance is a key strength for Stauffer Seeds as well.
“We’ve put everything in our test plots and it’s nothing to
be ashamed of,” Vander Vliet boasted. Their dealership’s
test plots and field day are an important part of their
success. “I like to have Stauffer products in our test plot
and see how they do, then I feel good I’m selling a good
product, too,” he stated.
Vander
Vliet also farms. He and his wife, Brenda, are the parents
of three sons and a daughter. They farm near Luverne.
Stauffer Seeds headquarters is located in Carroll, Iowa.
